I think I've been too critical of Guthrie's "A". Colgate's logo is WAY worse.

Is @Hilltopper like the phantom of the opera, living in the Infocision rafters?

I don't find the volume of the music to be any different than any other FBS or NFL game I've been to. Might just feel a little out of place considering how sparse/dead our crowd usually is.

I agree, shouldn't be considered a power conference with the addition of those teams. Not much better than the Mountain West as it currently stands, if at all. Haven't done any reading on this, but my guess is $$ is main motivation for the move with the hope of being considered a power conference again.

I still have faith in Joe. He's been dealt a really difficult hand with taking over such a moribund program that was at the absolute lowest point. And now the budget cuts. I still like this team. The P5 September meat grinder will end soon enough and I expect a .500 season in the MAC. Finley will get some time to throw, and the RB's will get some holes to hit. That'll give the D a few breathers. Pushing up against opposing linemen who will be selling pipe and wire in a couple years instead of playing in the NFL will also help the Zips finish games stronger.

Agree, probably just seems louder because it echos off all the empty seats. The “get off my lawn” crowd needs to lighten up!

Can somebody please tell me we will not have to listen to nonstop blaring music during every stoppage that gives the few people that attend these games a blazing headache. Can't we just have the band play during a few timeouts?

Sounds like he will be back in some type of advisory/fundraising role.

UA should be announcing its Fall '24 enrollment today or tomorrow. Other Ohio publics have already done so. Interesting note on UC - they are highly leveraged financially, particularly in the athletics department. Those investments in football and new conferences have not been offset by sufficient increases in revenue.

How do you leave off an absolute workhorse, who has been a staple in our roster for 4 years now?? Evan Wilson deserves better

All the more reason to reduce the volume. I would hate to have to get a personal injury attorney involved.

That sounds like a good move, considering all the "fans" who left and seemed to never come back once he did, he clearly had a following.

Im thinking you might see the likes of NDSU and SDSU make the jump up to FBS, and maybe a couple CUSA teams that dont make any sense like NMSU join to fill it out.

And the great divide between the “have” and “have nots” continues to grow at the FBS level….

They still have to get to 8 by 2026 to be considered a Power conference. 2026 is when their probationary period ends. Even though they aren’t much better (or better at all) than some of the G5 conferences, they will be given an auto-bid to the playoffs.

Do I understand this correclty that the Pac-12 (six members) will still be a Power Conference in the future? That seems unfair to a few of the Group of 5 conferences that are, honestly, as good or better than those six programs collectively.

Well you’re a stealers fan - your opinion doesn’t count!

give us all the hate and disrespect... we have the best coach and the most talented roster... Cream will rise to the top
